OK its with much excitement that I can reveal the winners of our Power5 competition. Firstly Iâ€™d just like to say that I am blown away by the not only the amount of entries we received (twenty six) but the quality of all the entries. I think I can honestly say there wasnâ€™t a design that would have caused me disappointment if it had made the series.

So lets get down to business, and in reverse order announce the 5 winners….

At number 5 we have Prisoner Of The Beard! by Uncle Absinthe. With 5 points.

And finally in the number 1 position we have Brunt Out by Alto. With 18 points.

We would also like to make an honorable mention to Tough Guy by Ash Bellwood. We actually had a 3 way tie for 4th and 5th position between Uncle Absinthe, Brett Cloke and Ash Bellwood. It was however decided that Ashâ€™s design was unfortunately to intricate to sculpt and cast at the 1â€ size. However we were so blown away by Ashâ€™s developing skills, we have decided to make him his very own one off version of Tough Guy at a much more awesome size! Congratulations Ash, and thanks so much for entering, your design was massively popular in the public vote.

So next I would just like to explain the voting process a little more. As you know everything in the Power5 project revolves around the number 5. We had 5 judges who picked 5 winners each, to eventually decide the 5 pieces that would make the series. So the judges all picked their 5 favorites in order, and we attributed points to each position, for example 5 points to 1st place, 4 points to 2nd place and so on. The judges votes are detailed below….

So the 5th judge was the public vote, conducted by using the like button on the images posted in our facebook gallery. These likes were counted up, and popped in order, and given the same scores as the judges so 1st place got 5 points, down to 5th place getting 1 point. These results can be seen below….

We created this system to hopefully make everything as fair as possible, and to create a fantastic mini series that everyone will love to get their hands on at ToyCon UK in April next year.

So the next thing to happen will be the collaboration between Robotic Industries and the winning artists to develop their sculpt, before it is sent off to Lisa-Rae Hansen to be cast in 5 different colours. All very exciting.

I would once again like to say a massive thank you to everyone that entered. And everyone who took part in the facebook public vote.

The full details of the project can be read in this post. And if you havenâ€™t had a chance yet, make sure you check out all the entries in this facebook gallery.
